1.00 Credits
Experiments involve aerospace concepts and are geared to simulate operations in a typical industrial aerospace lab. Wind tunnel testing, flow visualization, model forces, pressure measurements; boundary layers, nozzles and jets. Error analysis. (Offered regularly, but not every semester.) Corequisite: AENG 360.
-
4.00 Credits
Actual optimum design of an airplane meeting the specifications of load (number of passengers and/or weight of cargo), range, field length, and cruising speed. The course proceeds step by step to calculate all the design characteristics: wing sweepback, thickness ratio, wing loading, thrust loading, takeoff weight, drag, range, direct operating cost. Many of these factors are varied in order to optimize the cost. (Offered regularly, but not every semester.) Corequisite: MENG 340.
-
4.00 Credits
A specific field of design will be selected. The design will be open-ended and proceed from specifications using all the pertinent fields of science and engineering as well as empirical formulations. Some topics which may be selected are Supersonic Aircraft, Rocket Technology and Helicopter Design. Prerequisite: AENG 490 and approval of chairperson.
-
3.00 Credits
The high-speed motion of modern aerospace vehicles requires extremely accurate measurements of the parameters of motion as well as the means of correcting such motion. These techniques of guidance and control are offered from first principles. Different guidance systems (gyroscopes, accelerometers, and other sensors are evaluated). (Offered regularly, but not every semester.) Prerequisite: AENG 436.
